I gotta get somethin' done today
Give a accomplishment a shot
Might not have a full talent to use
But I'm gonna paint with the colors I got

But then your hopes and not deals you embrace
And then there's what's staring you in the face
Sorrowful times are here but they won't last
'Cause this too shall pass

This too shall pass

Feelin' like a lazy tub of lard
[Incomprehensible] gave me his business card
Think I'll take the personality test
Document my fineness thus far

Then your hopes and not deals you embrace
Then there's what's staring you in the face
First place men will one day roll in last
'Cause this too shall pass

And this too shall pass

Better get it on so I'm off started right
Comin' soon they're gonna fix it in time
I just want to get what's mine
Not a function, gonna just, gonna [Incomprehensible]

And this too shall pass

What you gotta do to find a cure
For the things that make you feel so impure
Just now I don't know for sure
Sometimes misery has a strange way

Then your hopes and not deals you embrace
Then there's what staring you in the face
Sorrowful times are here but they won't last
'Cause this too shall pass

And then your hopes and not deals you embrace
And then there's what staring you in the face
Sorrowful times are here but they won't last
'Cause this too shall pass

This too shall pass
